Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fort Washington, PA.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Fort Washington patients are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be watched closely and likely given specific prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would keep them safe.

There isn't an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require intensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for recovering addicts.
